I recently bought a Marlin XS7 in .243 Win. I have had it to the range several times and have not been able to get it to shoot to my satisfaction. Most of the literature available on this particualr rifle suggests that it really likes being floated.
But, when I "wollered" (technical term) my barrel channel out, I found out the synthetic stock is too flimsy and flexes up to touch the barrel if any pressure is put on it. If I attach my bipod and set the rifle down the barrel touches the stock.
Can I stiffen the stock? Or maybe just take more material out of the barrel channel? Or maybe...?
What do you think?
